Any one used this can for their wood shop dust collection. Just wondering if it is strong enough not to collapse under the suction?

I would think that it would work in that application. Short of a metal drum I can't imagine any poly trash can being more sturdy than this one. It is very heavy gauge material.

I hook it up with my Jet dust collection system. It might be stronger suction if I didn't have all the other tools on the system that I control with blast gates. With all the leakage I have no problems. The sander is a great tool and made my life easier and quicker.

This works much better. I like to use a broom to pick the heave stuff. Like if i haven't cleaned in two wks.Than I clean with Bona, than I use the duster. The duster would pick it all up even if you didn't use the broom though.

I only use it outdoors, it's impossible to keep the dust from blowing around, I just point out away from where I'm cleaning, one disadvantage of shop vacs, make sure your filters are clean and bag is kept before 3/4 full and at least you won't be blowing the dust you've just sucked up back into the floor. with a little ingenuity you could make a short hose and zip tie a little high flow filter element, maybe like a lawn mower filter, but it would have to show high volume and you'd have to clean it too. Does the floor attachment fit, turn it face up, Still need a filter.

for loose dust sure, but do not count on it for sticky stuff, you're better off with compressed air cans.

absolutely, regular house vacuum does just fine, a shop vac would also have no problems. It's just pulling air out.

Hey Norma! The canister is very easy to empty. All you do is push a button to release it and when you have it directly over a trash can or trash bag, you just ope n the bottem and the gunk falls out. (don't do like I did and open it over your foot) With arthritis, though, I do believe the carry around canister would be a little heavy. The vacuum itself is very easy to manuever, especially with the swivel feature. I truly love this vacuum, but like I said, the detachable carry around canister would probably be a problem for you. I hope I was of some help and don't hesitate to ask other questions if you need to. Hey Norma! The canister is very easy to empty.

The Swiffer is capable of holding a LOT of dust, But if your ceiling fan is anything like my ceiling fan, it doesn't get dusted very often. When I haven't been using the fan and haven't dusted it in a while, the Swiffer pad can get overloaded and just push the dust it cant grasp off onto whatever is below. But I take responsibility for that, for not remembering to dust it often enough.

The dust bag does catch sawdust, but not all of the dust. It does cut down on the sawdust better than it would without it. It does have to be emptied frequently, as it is undersized if you plan on doing much sawing. I have thouht an old pair of ladies hose may work as good if not better, but I don't know if they would hold up. You may try that first.

It does not blow air like a can of compressed air. But I have been able to get some dust with it. Its mainly a hand vac for crumbs but it has a good enough suction for dust. There is a foldaway brush in the head that I used to brush the collected dust off our ceiling and suck it up at the same time. I wasalso able tosuck the dust out of the wall corners, off door thresholds too. I tried to suck dust out of my sewing machine and it didn't do very well.

I personally would never buy another one. I returned same day I got it. Used it on very low pile carpet and was very hard to push across the carpet. As far as suction I am not sure because I wasn't going to have a vacuum I had to fight.

I would not recommend it for that. It's great for dust and crumbs, but cat litter may be to heavy for the minimal suction

I find the suction to be wonderful! I have a dog, and 4 cats and it picks up everything they shed. Don't believe the recent competitor commercial that shows this white substance not being picked up by the machine! I have used it to pick up saw dust from indoor wood projects, glitter, and a host of dust like jobs!! It works very well. But you need to know your home's needs - if you have thick pile carpeting then a stick-vac (any stick-vac) may not suit your needs. :)

I think it would work fine. Mine lasted a few months and then broke. We use it in a warehouse for sweepingand I think I would personally go for something a bit more substantial next time.

This vaccum gets the job done but I would not consider it powerful. The suction are is about the size of a 50 cent piece. Ive used it on microsuede furniture with no problem. So i doubt its powerful enough to cause damage.

It will suck-up about half of the dust when used on drywall joints. Better than nothing but a shop vac attachment would do better.

I think it can be used for vacuum packing because it has a lot of suction. I too have to sometimes hold my small rugs down.
